STOPPING CRITERIA FOR LAYERED ITERATIVE ERROR CORRECTION

Abstract:

The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods related to stopping criteria for layered iterative error correction. A number of methods can include receiving a codeword with an error correction circuit, iteratively error correcting the codeword with the error correction circuit including parity checking the codeword on a layer-by-layer basis and updating the codeword after each layer. Methods can include stopping the iterative error correction in response to a parity check being correct for a particular layer.
